Holy High - IC - Open

[Syrixces]

Tharizdun giggled.

It is now, fool. I have sent God himself to the pits of Tartarus! Whom among you can stop me now! None of you!

In fact, I suggest you move along, sister. Wait, what is this?

His eys grew black, as he looked into her past.

A lover? You have just got to be kidding me.

"Get out of my head." Nyx hissed, her red eyes flaming. Her hair was now an undefinable black, putting off what was becoming a darker aura. "Get out!" The shadows in the courtyard hissed and danced about the walls, visibly showing her anger. He had no right to be in her head. No right to be rifling through her memories and her mind. He would see her weaknesses if he did that, if he continued.

He gasped

Oh, this is adorable. You love him!

Now, do be quiet. I would so hate to have to destroy you.

[Syrixces]

Tharizdun giggled.

It is now, fool. I have sent God himself to the pits of Tartarus! Whom among you can stop me now! None of you!

In fact, I suggest you move along, sister. Wait, what is this?

His eys grew black, as he looked into her past.

A lover? You have just got to be kidding me.

The presence grows stronger...

So... much... strength...

It's glorious.

Stop this! Let me go!

Shhh... let me handle this.

Sleep now, Mom. Rest, and dream... of us...

The Kraken stumbled out in front of her, his hulking frame blocking out the light.

YOU COME WITH ME. NOW.

She smiled.

"Gladly. Take me to your leader."

Oh, I've always wanted to say that.

The Kraken snorted, and picked her up, carrying her across his back.

He dropped her down at Tharizdun's feet.

What is this? A Nephil? How disgusting.

[Skyline United]

He nodded, "You the first person I've shown this place to."

Valkyrie smiled. "Thank you, then."

He smiled back, "Your welcome."

[Theyra]

Mair saw a glance from Voi, knew what it meant. She thought about the war, how Voi, Sira and the others defeated the bearers of the Soul of Darkness last time. Mair wasn't there when the battle happened, but she knew what she needed to do. Follow Voi, and that means getting everyone out of here and someplace safe where they can plan out a attack and kill this being of evil.

[Charlia]

The presence grows stronger...

So... much... strength...

It's glorious.

Stop this! Let me go!

Shhh... let me handle this.

Sleep now, Mom. Rest, and dream... of us...

She smiled.

"Gladly. Take me to your leader."

Oh, I've always wanted to say that.

The Kraken snorted, and picked her up, carrying her across his back.

He dropped her down at Tharizdun's feet.

What is this? A Nephil? How disgusting.

She stood up quickly, brushing herself off.

"Actually, I'm a quarterling. Well, sort of. Only one-quarter angelic blood in me, and most of that is demonic... or it would be, if I actually had my own body."

She stared down at herself and scowled slightly.

"As it is, I have to make do with hers. Thanks for that, by the way--awfully bad of you to lend me the strength I needed to get control."

[Italios]

Valkyrie smiled. "Thank you, then."

He smiled back, "Your welcome."

Valkyrie looked out over the dunes. "It's really nice here. I guess I understand why you like it here."

[Castle Crashers]

"Get out of my head." Nyx hissed, her red eyes flaming. Her hair was now an undefinable black, putting off what was becoming a darker aura. "Get out!" The shadows in the courtyard hissed and danced about the walls, visibly showing her anger. He had no right to be in her head. No right to be rifling through her memories and her mind. He would see her weaknesses if he did that, if he continued.

He gasped

Oh, this is adorable. You love him!

Now, do be quiet. I would so hate to have to destroy you.

Nyx seethed, anger coursing through her veins like a virus. It was then that a sudden, stabbing nausea passed over her, causing such pain that it was crippling. She fell to her knees, moaning in distress, placing her head against the ground as the shadows in the area dropped and surrounded her being. Dark, black tears fell from her eyes as she lay there, the darkness he'd left by searching her mind becoming expandable. It reached every corner of her mind, spiling it with darkness and hatred. She lay there, twitching, the shadows lingering as her aura became nauseatingly dark. She didn't move, she didn't try to. The darkness had taken its hold.

Shut up before I tear out your tongue.

Tharizdun clapped his hands.

Now I do suggest you all go along your way, before I have to kill you all.

He turned back to Charlotte,

Now you may speak, Nephil.

[Syrixces]

He gasped

Oh, this is adorable. You love him!

Now, do be quiet. I would so hate to have to destroy you.

Nyx seethed, anger coursing through her veins like a virus. It was then that a sudden, stabbing nausea passed over her, causing such pain that it was crippling.

She lay there, twitching, the shadows lingering as her aura became nauseatingly dark. She didn't move, she didn't try to. The darkness had taken its hold.

Tharizdun crouched, grinning.

He touched her temple, implanting a dream of Hyperion being torn apart dozens of times.

Sleep well, child.

[Pot4toes]

What is this?

I sense... darkness...

Charlotte couldn't breathe.

A scream tore from her throat, full of pain and rage.

Then she covered herself in darkness and walked towards the source of the evil...

"It's time to play."

---

Loki was shocked by what happened, but... pleased.

Finally, other outcast gods.

A side he could fight for.

---

Amaterasu, on the other hand, was not pleased.

She was angry.

Artemis spotted Loki amidst the chaos. She broke into a full out dash through the crowds, hoping none of the 'students' from Juvenile would spot her. In a low whisper, she said "Loki, you have to follow me now. Something terrible happened to Regalion. I'll tell you more along the way."

[Charlia]

She stood up quickly, brushing herself off.

"Actually, I'm a quarterling. Well, sort of. Only one-quarter angelic blood in me, and most of that is demonic... or it would be, if I actually had my own body."

Tharizdun clapped his hands.

Now I do suggest you all go along your way, before I have to kill you all.

He turned back to Charlotte,

Now you may speak, Nephil.

She raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed.

"Okay, brief overview: I'm actually the psychological manifestation of her fear--of me--sort of circular, long story, I'm sure you can figure it out yourself though. Anyway, normally I can only get control when she's asleep, but you're so completely evil that I got the strength to take control just by being in the immediate vicinity. She's asleep now--"

I am not!

She dug her nails into her arm, leaving a long gash. She didn't feel it at all, but Charlotte did.

Shut up, Mom.

"Or she's supposed to be. Anyway, here to offer services, et cetera, et cetera... Charlie the quarterling, reporting for whatever."

Nyx seethed, anger coursing through her veins like a virus. It was then that a sudden, stabbing nausea passed over her, causing such pain that it was crippling. She fell to her knees, moaning in distress, placing her head against the ground as the shadows in the area dropped and surrounded her being. Dark, black tears fell from her eyes as she lay there, the darkness he'd left by searching her mind becoming expandable. It reached every corner of her mind, spiling it with darkness and hatred.

Tharizdun crouched, grinning.

He touched her temple, implanting a dream of Hyperion being torn apart dozens of times.

Sleep well, child.

"Nightmares..." She grinned.

"One of my specialties."

What is this?

I sense... darkness...

Charlotte couldn't breathe.

A scream tore from her throat, full of pain and rage.

Loki could barely answer.

"Artemis... these people... they're like me."

[Pot4toes]

Shut up before I tear out your tongue.

Tharizdun clapped his hands.

Now I do suggest you all go along your way, before I have to kill you all.

Loki could barely answer.

"Artemis... these people... they're like me."

"What are you talking about? They're nothing like you!" Panic was growing by the second, as she saw more and more of the Juveniles appearing in the school. "Most of these guys have tried attacking me at least once. We need to get going, or we could end up like Regalion."

[Theyra]

Nyx seethed, anger coursing through her veins like a virus. It was then that a sudden, stabbing nausea passed over her, causing such pain that it was crippling. She fell to her knees, moaning in distress, placing her head against the ground as the shadows in the area dropped and surrounded her being.

Sleep well, child.

Anger starts forming Voi, as Nyx's aura changes. No, he thought, Not again, she wasn't like the bearers she didn't choose to embrace the darkness, That thing overwhelm her spirit, and Charlotte... Voi looks at her, she's like Nyx. Voi turns to the others and said "We need to get out of here before it's too late"

[Charlia]

She raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed.

"Okay, brief overview: I'm actually the psychological manifestation of her fear--of me--sort of circular, long story, I'm sure you can figure it out yourself though.

He stared at them in something approaching awe, and sadness.

"They're outcasts. Like me... Everyone thinks I'm evil, but look at them... I look at them, and I see... myself. I see what everyone thinks I am. Maybe... it is who I am."

[Skyline United]

He smiled back, "Your welcome."

Valkyrie looked out over the dunes. "It's really nice here. I guess I understand why you like it here."

"It's usually very hot, or very cold."

[Pot4toes]

"What are you talking about? They're nothing like you!" Panic was growing by the second, as she saw more and more of the Juveniles appearing in the school. "Most of these guys have tried attacking me at least once. We need to get going, or we could end up like Regalion."

"They're outcasts. Like me... Everyone thinks I'm evil, but look at them... I look at them, and I see... myself. I see what everyone thinks I am. Maybe... it is who I am."

She was becoming more fearful now. She started speaking in a voice of almost normal volume.

"That's not who you are at all. Why can't you see that? You're amazing, clever, helpful. They aren't. And it's hard to tell who is good and evil in this world just at a glance."

She took a deep breath.

Come on, say it.

"I...I can't let you go to them. You're the closest thing to family I've ever had. It's not like I do anything my Dad, or Apollo, or anyone like I can with you. I just want to do what's best for you, and it's not being with them (the Juvenile students)."

[Italios]

Valkyrie looked out over the dunes. "It's really nice here. I guess I understand why you like it here."

"It's usually very hot, or very cold."

Valkyrie nodded. "I like cold weather, but I suppose I'm just used to my homeland's weather."

[Charlia]

He stared at them in something approaching awe, and sadness.

"They're outcasts. Like me... Everyone thinks I'm evil, but look at them... I look at them, and I see... myself. I see what everyone thinks I am. Maybe... it is who I am."

Her words were healing.

And yet... he was still torn.

He would have to think carefully about this...

But for now, he would go with Artemis.

"All right."

[Castle Crashers]

Nyx seethed, anger coursing through her veins like a virus. It was then that a sudden, stabbing nausea passed over her, causing such pain that it was crippling. She fell to her knees, moaning in distress, placing her head against the ground as the shadows in the area dropped and surrounded her being. Dark, black tears fell from her eyes as she lay there, the darkness he'd left by searching her mind becoming expandable. It reached every corner of her mind, spiling it with darkness and hatred.

Tharizdun crouched, grinning.

He touched her temple, implanting a dream of Hyperion being torn apart dozens of times.

Sleep well, child.

Nyx could only whimper, twitching occasionally, the black tears still running from her closed eyes as the nightmare began, and then repeated itself over and over again. She could scream and cry all she wanted, and she could keep trying to save him, but she could do nothing in the end. She could only endure, and she could only envelop herself deeper into the darkness as the mightmares began to darken her mind even further.

[Syrixces]

Shut up before I tear out your tongue.

Tharizdun clapped his hands.

Now I do suggest you all go along your way, before I have to kill you all.

He turned back to Charlotte,

Now you may speak, Nephil.

She raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed.

Loki could barely answer.

"Artemis... these people... they're like me."

On eof mine too, I am afraid. Now let us take a looksy inside your noggin...

His eyes glowed black, as he sifted through her head.

Thanatos is here? What? Ooh, and a Nephal? Well, you have your tasks cut out for you. Kill the Nephal. Then bring me Thanatos's head.

[Syrixces]

Tharizdun crouched, grinning.

He touched her temple, implanting a dream of Hyperion being torn apart dozens of times.

Sleep well, child.

Nyx could only whimper, twitching occasionally, the black tears still running from her closed eyes as the nightmare began, and then repeated itself over and over again. She could scream and cry all she wanted, and she could keep trying to save him, but she could do nothing in the end. She could only endure, and she could only envelop herself deeper into the darkness as the mightmares began to darken her mind even further.

Tharizdun smileed.

You may awaken, when you are ready to serve, sister.

[Charlia]

She raised an eyebrow, clearly impressed.

"Okay, brief overview: I'm actually the psychological manifestation of her fear--of me--sort of circular, long story, I'm sure you can figure it out yourself though.

Thanatos is here? What? Ooh, and a Nephal? Well, you have your tasks cut out for you. Kill the Nephal. Then bring me Thanatos's head.

She giggled.

So much darkness...

Charlotte, on the other hand, wasn't happy. She knew that whoever he was, he would have no qualms about revealing her secret to everyone, whether for a 'good' reason, or just to torment her.

"There's some good stuff in there, huh? Ooh, I get to kill Thanatos? How fun. I assume I can do it slowly... he won't even be able to fight back for fear of hurting his precious Charlotte..."

Then Charlotte used what strength she had to break through.

"I won't let you--"

"Oh, do shut up, Mom. Sorry about that, she's so annoying and good, sometimes it's hard to believe we're related."

She shrugged.

"But I can kill those two. And believe me... I'll enjoy it very much."

[Skyline United]

"It's usually very hot, or very cold."

Valkyrie nodded. "I like cold weather, but I suppose I'm just used to my homeland's weather."

He rested his head against the sand and closed his eyes, "This is my home."

[Syrixces]

She shrugged.

"But I can kill those two. And believe me... I'll enjoy it very much."

Good. Then get out, before I decide to tear out your spine. And shut that other voice up.

He turned, waving his hands in the air to the tune of the "Ode To Joy".

[Italios]

Valkyrie nodded. "I like cold weather, but I suppose I'm just used to my homeland's weather."

He rested his head against the sand and closed his eyes, "This is my home."

"It's a nice home," said Valkyrie flopping back in the sand as well.
